  GAZA Today: Would You Turn Your Back. 
  (Harmony-Join Book 4) 
  Everyone knows what Gaza is. A strip of land in the Middle East, being vociferously fought over. 
  I don't want to get into the Politics of it, but at least a brush with it is unavoidable if you attempt 
  any kind of dialogue or description of the occurrences that are happening there - truly awful. 
  This poem is a short one, and keeps to the suffering of its people, and not delving too much into sides 
  of the Political spectrum. 
  I think the suffering in a modern day scenario with instant and graphic footage of this one-sided war 
  is horrific. 
  Regardless of who did what to who, and who did it first etc, it should be focused on the humanitarian side 
  in any conflict lest we lose sight of what we maybe fighting for - I think the focus on humanity has been totally 
  lost. 
  Are we to Turn Our Back on these people. The West should push for extreme Sanctions to reign in the seemingly 
  unstoppable gungho aggression of the combatants - There is a Geneva convention you know. 
  It can only mean something if it is enforced... 
  Footnote: This Poem is all about the kids in this conflict. Whose right and whose wrong, shouldn't come into it 
  on the humanitarian field of view.

  Amy Lawrence Lowell was an American poet of the imagist school from Brookline, Massachusetts, who posthumously won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1926.  Though she sometimes wrote sonnets, Lowell was an early adherent to the "free verse" method of poetry and one of the major champions of this method. She defined it in her preface to "Sword Blades and Poppy Seed"; in the North American Review for January, 1917; in the closing chapter of "Tendencies in Modern American Poetry"; and also in the Dial (January 17, 1918), as: "The definition of Vers libre is: a verse-formal based upon cadence. To understand vers libre, one must abandon all desire to find in it the even rhythm of metrical feet. One must allow the lines to flow as they will when read aloud by an intelligent reader. Or, to put it another way, unrhymed cadence is "built upon 'organic rhythm,' or the rhythm of the speaking voice with its necessity for breathing, rather than upon a strict metrical system. Free verse within its own law of cadence has no absolute rules; it would not be 'free' if it had."  - Summary by Wikipedia

  The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyám...

  Omar Khayyám (1048–1131) was a Persian poet, mathematician and astronomer. In the Western world he is most famous for his many rubáiyát (quatrains), a four line rhyming stanza, which were popularized in an extensively reworked collection in English by Edward Fitzgerald, the first edition of which appeared in 1859. 
  However, Fitzgerald was neither the first nor the most scholarly of the translators of Omar Khayyam’s rubáiyát. As well as translating the poems of Hafez and Rumi, Edward Henry Whinfield (1836-1922) also produced a much more extensive English version of the rubáiyát. In 1883 he published a bilingual edition of 500 quatrains, in which the Persian original is presented side by side with the English translation. 
  This is a bilingual recording. Each quatrain will be read first in Persian and then in English translation. While listeners unfamiliar with the Persian language will not able to appreciate the meaning of the quatrains in their original form, everyone can at least enjoy the musicality of Omar’s verse, which Whinfield often succeeds in capturing.

  For so long I was a ship tossed around on turbulent waters. Then one day I discovered the beauty and wonder of nature I had been missing and embraced the Light I’d been hiding from all this time. And so, I offer a look into "An Ocean of Emotion", my debut collection of poetry divided into three sections: Darkened Skies, The Wonders of Nature, and Dawning of a New Day.

  The Complete Poetry of John Keats

  'What the imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth' So wrote the Romantic poet John Keats (1795-1821) in 1817. This collection "The Complete Poetry of John Keats" contains all of his poetry: the early work, which is often undervalued even today, the poems on which his reputation rests including the Odes and of the uncompleted epic Hyperion, and work which only came to light after his death including his attempts at drama and comic verse. It all demonstrates the extent to which he tested his own dictum throughout his short creative life. That life spanned one of the most remarkable periods in English history in the aftermath of the French Revolution and this collection, with its detailed introductions and notes, aims to place the poems very much in their context. The collection is ample proof that Keats deservedly achieved his wish to 'be among the English Poets after my death'.
  The following John Keats poetry is included in this collection:
  • Ode on Indolence
  • Ode to a Nightingale
  • Ode on a Grecian Urn
  • Ode to Psyche
  • Ode on Melancholy
  • To Autumn
  • Hyperion
  • Endymion
  • The Eve of St. Agnes
  • Isabella
  • Lamia
